Ok...I see what you guys mean. Yes why would be a good question. And my answer to why would so I can help the living and the dead. In either being a psychic or medium...either way my desire for is to simply help others, and myself as well. I am not looking for fame or to even make money from wut abilities I have. The reason meeting my guide(s) is so important to me is I would like to meet and have a spiritual friend. The crazy thing is today I acctually got a name. No face or even a body....just a blob of golden light. But I did get a name. I am a huge beleiever in the theory of beleif. I don't care who is or is'nt born a medium if one believes he/she can be a medium then (in my belief) he/she will become just that. I keep my belief system very positive, I do beleive that even if i'm not born a medium then I will open up what abilities I have in becoming one. But again I try to keep it positive and have an open mind. I don't like to narrow down mediums or psychics to only people who are born w/ the ability...but thats just me : )

The reasons for examining self are many, but most important is the spiritual aspect.  When we have service in mind, that is who we will draw to our guidance.  

I am so glad you have connected with your 'friend' in spirit.  Yes, they are the deepest of friends and helpers when we need them to aid our journey.  They can not live our lives of course, but they sure give it a whole new dynamic!

I have found that consistency and constancy in the approach to mediumship is important.  Same time, same place, same chair, etc. tends to help us meditate and find our own peace and gain our own guidance (spirit guide).  Keep up the meditation exercises to connect and learn from your spirit guide.

JW, I think that you are doing just fine I have lots of spirit friends and starting with a friend is a good place to start. And from there you will learn over time lots of cool interesting things.

love,
